Woman married to ghost claims pregnancy scare in TV interview

A woman who garnered international attention for saying she married a pirate ghost is now claiming that she had a pregnancy scare.

Amanda Teague, 45, told daytime ITV show Loose Woman that she missed a period and a GP informed her it could only mean pregnancy.

The Northern Irish woman said she spoke to ghost-husband Jack, an 18th century Caribbean pirate, who told her: "It is not possible for a spirit to biologically have a child with a human being, so I'm quite safe."

Ms Teague is a Jack Sparrow impersonator and says her ghost-husband looks just like Johnny Depp's Pirates of the Caribbean character.

While Ms Teague had five children with her living ex-husband, she says she has a much deeper connection with Jack.

"We became really close - the more I learnt about him, the more I liked him. One day, he said to me: 'We can actually be together you know', but I had never heard of an intimate relationship between a spirit and a human before."

Twelve guests attended the couple's wedding ceremony and she says her family are completely supportive of her relationship with the 300-year-old ghost.
